Yeah, thats a shitty deal proj, but at the end of the day, shes has the right to live her life, and you have the right to walk away. This is really indicative of something that is so much deeper, larger and more complicated.
At one point, there was a need to fight against repression of a womens sexual rights, but now it seems like some young women actaully think that web cam stripping and such are some sort of sexual liberation!?!? Which i would support IF the landscape wasnt so inherently capitalistic, frought with sexual predators/stalkers, AND if the girls where actaully older than 17!!!!!
Realms such as sexual empowerment/freedoms for women is a really touchy situation. There has been so many years of suppression of female rights, whether politically or sexually, that the contemporary struggle still needs to be fought and tested BUT can become reactionary quite fast!
Where is the line being drawn? Where does a women having the inherant right to express and explore their sexual energies and appetites without scorn or exceptional negetive judgement(in terms of a sexual environment that doesnt oppress others and is safe + concentual) mutate into said women becoming a victim of mainstream celebrity/materialistic/superficial/capitalistic ideals that could result in being taken advantage of in a number of ways?
Like i mentioned before, you have all the right, to hit the road, and have personal judgments, but to take these judgements into the realm of questioning this girls respect for herself and announcing the answer in public, whether you actaully know or not, could be more reactive, than relevant.
If you do really in fact care for this girl, and you have a strong enough friendship, perhaps a converstation that is sensitive to how volatile it could become would be in order. This could be more productive, in terms of either, reconcilling/ figuring out a comfortable way to be with this girl, without infinging on any of her personal rights, AND OR perhaps getting to the core of why she does what she does, and help her- if in fact the core of the issue is based on some negetive product of whatever bullshit conditioning is thrown at women everyday.
In laymans terms, perhaps a tad more sensitivity would be in order. I think perhaps you, and the apple of your eye, might benefit from a mature, compassionate dialogue?
nonetheless, its YOUR right to put yourself in a position that YOU'RE comfortable with. If this isnt the case, you do have all the right to feel what you feel and walk away, but like ive been saying, your right to judge this girl can only go so far, before it becomes negetive, ya dig?
Good luck with whatever action you take!
